J.P. currently lives and works as a construction manager in NYC, while Ashley is finishing up her hours at the University of Pennsylvania’s Clinic to become a dentist. But it’s only about a two-hour drive or train ride from Philadelphia to NYC — so it’s quite possible that Ashley made the trip to see her lover.

But the problem is that Ashley and J.P. are both under contract by ABC to keep mum about the status of their relationship. Ashley has been going on secret weekend rendezvous with her fiance, but they are to special locations selected by the network that give the couple complete privacy.

According to the 2010 census, 8,175,133 people live in Manhattan. So the question is, would the network set up a meeting for the lovers in such a densely populated city where the couple would most likely be spotted together?

BFFs — tell us what you think — is it possible that Ashley visited J.P. in the Big Apple?
